Tail (Pom-Pom):
If you’re using a faux fur pom-pom, sew it onto the back of the bunny. If you prefer yarn, wrap your yarn around two fingers until it’s a good size, tie it off in the middle, and trim the ends to create a fluffy tail. Attach it to the back of the bunny.
Face:
- Attach safety eyes 2-3 rows below the head’s top.
- Attach the safety nose slightly below the eyes.
- Use Coats Sewing Thread to stitch a simple smile beneath the nose.
Assembly:
- Ears: Attach the ears to the top of the head using the long yarn tail left from the ear.
- Feet: Attach the feet to the bottom of the body, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Tail: Attach the pom-pom or yarn tail to the back of the body.
Final Touches:
- Adjust the stuffing in both the head and body to ensure a smooth, rounded shape.
- Use your crochet hook to help shape the bunny if needed.
- You can use the yarn tail to tighten any areas that may need more definition.
